Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion by Bushra Rehman
5.0
A tender, joyous, and painful coming of age story set in 1980s Queens in a Pakistani community. I love stories like this, I love watching our narrator have these internal conflicts and choosing to step into their truth. I love the discussion about being Pakistani and a child of immigrants and trying to figure out how to fit in to the world around you. Razia was a witty and lovely voice.
